A soldier in Afghanistan allegedly watched his wife and a 15-year-old girl have oral sex via a live chat feed on Skype. Shawn Raymo, 22, was serving as a military police officer when he allegedly viewed his wife engaging in a sex act with a minor. Both the Fort Drum soldier and his wife Jessica Raymo, 21, were arrested on endangering child welfare and using a child in a sexual performance charges earlier week.

Police officers in Upstate New York report that the erotic scene was broadcast from the soldier’s home, according to the Daily Mail. The alleged sex crime is thought to have occurred in July of last year while the soldier was stationed in Afghanistan. Raymo returned home last fall, but the allegations only recently surfaced.

It is not currently clear what the couple’s connection is to the 15-year-old girl, according to the Utica Observer-Dispatch. Preliminary police reports indicate the minor may have been from Madison County, an area several hours to the south of Fort Drum.

Lieutenant Colonel David Konop had this to say about the alleged oral sex video shared by the soldier’s wife during an interview with the New York Daily News:

“We are constantly trying to brief our soldiers on things that they should not be doing.”

Konop also noted that the Shawn Raymo sex crime allegations are the first time he has ever heard of such an incident with soldiers at the Army post. It is a felony to use a child younger than 17 in a sexual performance in New York. Both the Fort Drum soldier and his wife were held in the Jefferson County jail on a $5,000 bail. Grand jury action in the Skype oral sex video case is still pending.

Ridiculous, pedantic adherence to the letter of the law. It's not like they were impregnating, internally violating, or giving some disease to the young lady, who is pretty darned near to the age of consent, anyway.

Wait-Wait-Wait.. If its a "CRIME" to be 15 instead fo 16 or 17 instead of 16 or whatever. Then the 15/16 year old needs to be charged too! It's really fucked up when more people commit the crime than is charged. Being that the crime is a 'statutory' crime then the 15yr old needs to face time too! Under the law she is NOT a victim but a suspect. This will keep these girls from starting bullshit and/or actually being responsible for their actions.

That's a crock of shit. Age of consent is just a number chosen by the government to control the people and America's is one of the highest in the world. You're telling me that when you were fifteen you didn't have the mentality to understand the consequences of a sexual encounter?

Charge the bitch. Too many times I've seen minors lie about their ages to sexual partners and escape punishment. We don't know that this girl didn't lie about her age as well. In fact, the evidence points toward her lying, considering she lived several counties away and had no apparent relationship with the soldier and his wife. Most likely she was on vacation at a friend's or relative's and wanted to experiment.

Carolina – Age of consent is 16 in some states. The minor in question was 15. That is all I meant when I said she is close to the age of consent. I myself had sex at 14. Biologically, I was an adult at the time. You're talking about ages like 9 and 12, and you're calling ME the pedo? Whatever, dear.

Uh… he was viewing a 15-year-old girl engaged in sexual activity. I don't know about where you're at, but that constitutes viewing child pornography in most places. So no, this isn't some sort of smear campaign.
